- this stylish supercar combined the ferocity of Lamborghini with the polish & practicality of Audi & at around GBP115 000 didnt scorch the wallet quite as much as its bigger brother the Murcielago. Lamborghinis have always quickened the pulse of course & this book shows why. Packed with model analysis driving impressions technical specifications buying hints personal anecdotes & sumptuous photographs it tells the story of this exotic marque from the peasant background of the founder Ferruccio Lamborghini to its burning ambition to beat Ferrari in the manufacture of supercars.
